Stillman Grandy

     FORMER WOLCOTT MAN ---
  Stillman J. Grandy, Veteran of
 Civil War Dies at Home of Daughter

  Stillman Johnson Grandy died at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. Nellie Inslee, No. 7743 
Fifteenth avenue N.W., Seattle, Wash., June 9.
Had he lived till August, he would have been 93.
Mr. Grandy was born near Richardson's corners,
Aug. 6, 1834, his father having been the late
Benjamin Grandy.  He was the last survivor of a 
long-lived family.  Among his sisters, now deceased, 
were Mrs. Robert Wolven, Mrs. Abram Chase, and
Mrs. Abram Hill, of Wolcott.  The late William
Grandy, of Westbury, was a Brother.  He was a 
carpenter by trade, and years ago helped to build
the Wolcott Falls mill, the old gristmill at Red
Creek, and the original large barn on N.W. Tompkins,
now the Albert Wells farm, just south of Wolcott.
When the civil war broke out he was one of the
original members and helped to organize Company G,
132d N.Y. Infantry**, which later was merged with      **probably the 138th
the Ninth Heavy Artillery.  He held the rank of
first sergeant.  Among his favorite stories of the
war was of seeing and conversing with Lincoln in
the forts about Washington.  This meant much to
him.  Mr. Grandy was twice married.  His first
wife lived only a short time, and about 1867, he
married Mrs. Annie E. Greene, of Oswego County. 
Two children survive, Frank E, Grandy and Mrs.
Nellie Inslee, both of Seattle, besides 7 grand-
children and 7 greatgrandchildren.  Mr. Grandy 
went to Michigan many years ago and in 1908 
followed the children to Seattle, where his wife
died five years ago, since which he had lived 
with his daughter.  He was a fine old man, a
Mason, honest, upright and until the last year
or so had worked his garden and done much about
the place.  He had intestinal "flu" late in
April and seemingly recovered but was too weak
to rally and was in bed much of the last two weeks
of his life, though no one thought the end so
near.  He passed quietly away in his sleep.
